Free Healthy Recipe - Strawberry and Ricotta Bruschetta

The Food Coach

Low GI, Low sugar

A variation on tomato bruschetta, these make a special breakfast dish. Please don't be tempted to use any old bread - this recipe is designed for taste and health. White crusty bread may taste OK but it's nutritionally low in value. In the processing of white flour, the grain is first stripped of its husk removing the fibre and valuable B vitamins; the flour is then ground intensively with bleaching agents added to make it pure white. The result, a fluffy white bread with a high GI, which will fill a gap for a minute but do little else.

Spread the ricotta over the sourdough toast.
Pile the strawberry slices over the ricotta.
Heat the honey in a small pan and add the cinnamon. Drizzle the honey mixture over the berries. Arrange on a baking sheet and heat in the oven for 10 minutes.

Note: Wholegrain sourdough has a lower GI and is available from specialist bakers or health food stores. If you are making your own bread in a bread maker, lower it's GI by adding whole grains and/or seeds to the dough.
